Slack Off Effect

Slack Off In-Game.jpg

Has the user slack off, continually restoring its HP for a short time. While the user is slacking off, if the user moves, performs a basic attack, uses a move, has a hindrance inflicted on it, or is otherwise interrupted, the HP restoration effect continues at decreased power.

How to Use Slack Off

Disengage from Battle First Before Activating

Pokemon UNITE - Slowbro Recovering HP with Slack Off

Slack Off is a great healing ability to have in the early game to stay in the fight for much longer. It is best used away from danger, as getting hit by an enemy when Slowbro is healing will cancel the move.

Use Inside Goal Zone for Fast Healing

Pokemon UNITE - Slowbro Using Slack Off Inside Goal Zone

Use Slack Off inside a goal zone to get the most healing as fast as possible. This essentially saves a trip back to base just to heal.

Slack Off Patch History

1.14.2.10 HP recovery increased from 9% of max HP to 12% of max HP. Cooldown reduced from 8s to 7s. Attack reduction effect due to burn status increased from 40% to 60%.
